Summary
Aurora currently has no shared scooter operator (the last vendor paused in Aug 2022), but the city reopened its Shared Micro-Mobility License in late 2024, raised the infrastructure fee to $0.05 per ride, and still expects any future fleets to park in the sidewalk “furniture zone,” clear curb ramps, and respond quickly to resident reports.
Detailed Information
Aurora’s Shared Mobility Program confirms that no rental scooters are available after the previous operator suspended service in August 2022, though Public Works now has an active license application (Lime) under new rules the City Council updated in October 2024. Those updates increased the per-ride infrastructure fee from $0.03 to $0.05, modernized permitting requirements, and keep licenses open so companies can return once they prove compliance. Riders should remember Aurora’s standing rules: stage devices only in the furniture zone, never block sidewalks, ADA ramps, or doorways, and report misplaced units directly to the operator; collisions with moving vehicles require a 911 call and a police report. Until a permitted vendor relaunches, residents can monitor Engage Aurora updates while the city continues work on its multimodal master plan.
